    No Jokes Allowed? Comedy, Cancel Culture & the Future of Free Speech | Lou Perez on Dangerous Laughter with A.J. RICE
    2026/07/26

    Is comedy becoming the last forbidden form of free speech?

    On this episode of Dangerous Laughter, A.J. Rice sits down with comedian, producer, satirist, and author Lou Perez to discuss the growing culture of censorship, cancel culture, and why comedy has become one of the last places where uncomfortable truths can still be told.

    Drawing from his book, That Joke Isn't Funny Anymore: On the Death and Rebirth of Comedy, Lou explains how political correctness, social media outrage, and cultural pressure have reshaped stand-up comedy, entertainment, and public discourse.

    The conversation explores the history of satire—from Lenny Bruce and George Carlin to today's comedians—and asks whether America is entering an era where humor itself has become controversial.

    In this episode:
    • Why cancel culture changed comedy
    • Is free speech under attack?
    • Political satire and modern censorship
    • The role of comedians in a divided America
    • George Carlin, Lenny Bruce, and comedy legends
    • Charlie Hebdo and the cost of speaking freely
    • Social media outrage and cancel mobs
    • Why laughter remains one of freedom's greatest weapons

    Whether you're interested in stand-up comedy, politics, free speech, First Amendment rights, political satire, or the future of American culture, this conversation delivers insight, humor, and honest debate.

  • The History They Don't Want You to Know: Left-Wing Political Violence | Noah Rothman with AJ Rice

    The History They Don't Want You to Know: Left-Wing Political Violence | Noah Rothman with AJ Rice
    2026/07/08

    Has one of the most consequential chapters in American history been deliberately overlooked?

    On this episode of Dangerous Laughter, bestselling author and National Review senior writer Noah Rothman joins AJ Rice for a gripping conversation about the long, often forgotten history of left-wing political violence in America.

    Drawing from his new book, Blood and Progress: A Century of Left-Wing Violence, Rothman traces the ideological roots of revolutionary movements—from the Haymarket affair and early socialist uprisings to modern political unrest, Antifa, and the cultural battles shaping America today.

    Together, AJ Rice and Noah Rothman explore:

    ✅ The hidden history of left-wing political violence
    ✅ Marxism, socialism, and revolutionary ideology in America
    ✅ Why history is remembered differently depending on who's telling it
    ✅ Antifa, BLM, and today's political climate
    ✅ The media's role in shaping historical narratives
    ✅ What Americans should understand about political extremism on all sides

    Whether you agree or disagree, this conversation challenges conventional wisdom and invites viewers to examine history through a broader lens.

  • The Gayatollah Speaks: The Iran War, Trump Negotiations, Pete Hegseth & the Strait of Hormuz | Dangerous Laughter with AJ RICE

    The Gayatollah Speaks: The Iran War, Trump Negotiations, Pete Hegseth & the Strait of Hormuz | Dangerous Laughter with AJ RICE
    2026/06/30
    In this explosive satirical episode of Dangerous Laughter with A.J. Rice, the show lands a fictional “global exclusive” with the one and only “Gayatollah” of Iran for a wild parody interview about Trump, Iran, Pete Hegseth, the Strait of Hormuz, nuclear negotiations, Pride Month, Middle East politics, media hypocrisy, and the absurd theater of modern geopolitics. This is political satire. This is parody. This is not a real interview with any foreign leader, government official, or representative of Iran. Dangerous Laughter uses comedy, mockery, and exaggeration to expose hypocrisy, puncture propaganda, and transform horror into humor. A.J. Rice takes the audience through a dangerous-but-hilarious ride involving Trump’s Iran MOU, Pete Hegseth, J.D. Vance, Marco Rubio, the Strait of Hormuz, the Squad, Lindsey Graham, Bad Bunny, Tucker Carlson, Adam Sandler movies, the media’s obsession with America’s enemies, and the ridiculous cultural contradictions of tyrants who demand respect but deserve derision. Because on Dangerous Laughter, comedy is our civic duty. There is no substitute for perfectly timed derision. Watch, subscribe, and don’t keep it on the DL.

  • America’s Enemies Are Already Here — Ex-FBI Agent Mark Rossini Issues a Chilling Warning

    America’s Enemies Are Already Here — Ex-FBI Agent Mark Rossini Issues a Chilling Warning
    2026/06/24

    Former FBI counterterrorism agent Mark Rossini joins A.J. Rice on Dangerous Laughter for a hard-hitting conversation about the threats America refuses to take seriously until it’s too late.

    From the intelligence failures before 9/11 to China buying land near U.S. military bases, Iranian terror networks, Hamas propaganda, Qatar influence, lawfare, and the rise of AI-driven gullibility, Rossini warns that America’s enemies are not just overseas. They are already operating in plain sight.

    A.J. and Rossini break down how political agendas weaken national security, why radical movements are being excused by America’s media and universities, and why the next major threat may come from our own inability to separate fact from fiction.

    This is one of the most dangerous conversations yet on Dangerous Laughter, because sometimes the joke is that everyone saw the warning signs and still looked away.

    Watch now, subscribe, and don’t keep it on the DL.

    Topics include: FBI, CIA, 9/11 intelligence failures, China threat, land near U.S. military bases, Iran, Hamas propaganda, Qatar influence, national security, lawfare, AI manipulation, media gullibility, universities, radical movements, terrorism, America First, and the future of U.S. security.

    The Last Sane Generation? Scott McKay on Gen X, Trump, Red Dawn & the Culture War | Dangerous Laughter
    2026/06/21
    Scott McKay joins Dangerous Laughter with A.J. Rice for a hilarious, politically sharp, and brutally honest conversation about Gen X, the culture war, political satire, Hollywood cowardice, Trump-era politics, and why the generation raised before the algorithm may be the last one that remembers how to fight back. A.J. Rice and Scott McKay break down why Gen X grew up differently from millennials and Gen Z, how movies like Red Dawn shaped a generation, why Hollywood keeps bowing to China, and how social media, postmodernism, and the digital age changed American culture. From boomers refusing to leave the stage to Gen Z’s political gender divide, the conversation moves from nostalgia to national survival with plenty of dangerous laughter along the way. Scott also discusses his political satire novels, including the Mike Holman series, his work at The American Spectator, his Louisiana-based politics and culture site The Hayride, and why conservatives must stop surrendering storytelling to the Left. This episode delivers everything Dangerous Laughter was built for: culture war comedy, conservative commentary, political satire, generational truth bombs, and perfectly timed derision.
